Altaba - 2 - The current strategy Altaba has announced the intention to sell its Yahoo Japan stake Altaba has announced a share repurchase plan Altaba is evaluating options for monetising its Alibaba stake The current discount to NAV of 26% significantly exceeds the tax liability on liquidation Altaba is rightly focused on reducing the discount to NAV

Altaba - 3 - The current strategy is unlikely to materially reduce the discount to NAV 65% of Altaba shareholders are non - US and subject to dividend withholding making Altaba tax inefficient relative to Alibaba Altaba is not included in indices and therefore remains off - limits for long - only funds and ETFs Corporate tax rates might rise in the future No natural shareholder base A gradual sale of assets will delay shareholder returns

Altaba - 4 - Corporate tax rates may increase But rising budget deficits may lead to higher future tax rates Altaba should crystallise the benefits of US tax reform before tax rates increase Only immediate monetisation of assets can crystallise current tax rates US tax reform has provided an opportunity to Altaba to monetise its assets

Altaba - 5 - A Plan of Liquidation would narrow the discount to NAV Source: Duff & Phelps. Blockage Discount is the impact of liquidating a large amount of stock in a finite time frame effectively depressing the market price Duff & Phelps estimates that the Blockage Discount could be up to 15% of the value of Alibaba shares A Blockage Discount for tax can be applied if Alibaba shares are distributed Altaba would distribute to its shareholders around 80% of its Alibaba shares Such a distribution would not be subject to dividend withholding tax Altaba would sell 20% of its Alibaba shares to pay tax and create reserves

Delaware Law and 1940 Act require 50% of outstanding shares of Altaba voting in favour to approve the Plan Distribute 80% of Alibaba shares Sell 20% of Alibaba shares to pay the tax liability and contingency reserves

Altaba - 10 - Yahoo Japan Yahoo Japan shares should either be sold or distributed to shareholders Altaba should request this consent from Softbank to increase options Distribution likely requires Softbank consent The limited free float and Altaba’s 35% ownership can justify a high Blockage Discount If consent is given, a distribution may be superior to a sale
